Gorgeous enamel on silver vintage Scandinavian guilloche brooch. The silver appears to have a rose gold or copper wash on it. I believe it is Scandinavian because it is labeled 925 S. There is another mark on it before the silver mark, but, I cannot find which maker this mark represents. Do you know? Thanks for any help!

But whats the first mark before 925 S? This could be Makers mark??
Very pretty!!!!
925 S means 925 Sterling.
Looks like a little Axe in the front....?? could it be Dutch??
As the axe/hatchet mark, used 1853-1927 as a tax mark on old Netherlands ... so might that be what it is???
It's not the Dutch hatchet mark - it's the wrong shape.
925S in Silver Guide states its Dutch, but Who??

Thanks for the loves Nicspawee, racer4four, TassieDevil, martika, Efesgirl, nutsaboutas6, kyratango, SEAN68, and aura!!
And, Dizzydave, that's the mark I was talking about! The little research I did revealed that the "S" after the 925 silver mark most likely means it is Scandinavian of some sort. Denmark came up the most. The Netherlands is another good possibility.
I do think it looks like an ax/hatchette antiquerose! That was my initial thought, but, I didn't put it in the description because I did not want to sway people's initial reaction.
Thanks for all the input antiquerose, Efesgirl, and MA!!
Nope, the Netherlands is not a possibility - the axe/hatchet is the wrong shape. I live in the Netherlands (not a part of Scandinavia).
:-))))
Thank you Efesgirl!! And, I knew that the Netherlands were not part of Scandinavia. I guess my separation of the Netherlands from my Scandinavia comment should have been more clear. :) :) :)
this is so beautiful!
You would be surprised at how many people really think the Netherlands is part of Scandinavia. :-))))
Thank you lentilka11!
And, Efesgirl, I'm sure that's true. I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't one of them! ;)
These beautiful blue flowers resemble the Hawaiian plumeria flower aka frangipani. Lovely!
Thank you Newfld!!
